ICATS: Interoperability Cross-Atlantic Trials
Type: concepts
Countries: Portugal, Spain, Santa Maria FIR, New York FIR
Domains: Oceanic/en-route
Description
This project aims to demonstrate the operational and performance benefits that will be obtained by Airspace Users through the introduction of:
- Regional systems interoperability, specifically Europe and North-America
- Oceanic SWIM capacity to improve flight performance
- Flight Object contribution for advanced network tactical management
The project will address the ‘System Interoperability with Air and Ground Data Sharing’ between Spain, Portugal and the USA to demonstrate that advanced ground-ground interoperability exchanging Flight Objects between users (ATCCs and Airlines), produces measurable benefits for ANSPs and Airlines.
Benefits
Allow seamless air traffic control over the Atlantic area between European and North-American ATM systems via the use of advanced ground-ground interoperability.
